New tab for Reels in Instagram: Instagram has launched a new tab for Reels in India, in which users got to see only Reels videos. India is the first country where a separate tab dedicated to reels has been introduced in Instagram. According to Instagram, this decision has been taken in view of the increasing popularity of reels in India. After this change, you will now see the Reels tab instead of the Explore tab in Instagram. Earlier, the Reels video was visible to you only in the Explore tab, but seeing the increasing popularity of the feature, the company has launched a separate tab for it.
The Explore tab is now located at the top right of the app. As everyone knows, the Indian government had banned 59 Chinese apps in India two months ago, of which the most popular app was TikTok. Different developers in India were offering the option of TicketLock since the TikTok ban, meanwhile Instagram introduced the in-app reels feature which is a short video feature similar to TikTok.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri says the reason for introducing a separate tab for reels on Instagram is the increasing speed of the feature in the country. A month ago news came that Facebook-owned company is working on this tab for Reels, but now the company has started rolling it out to all users. Before the tabs, reels were seen in the Video Search tab itself.
